It is one to an existent in my opinion; we have something or someone we put above all. From every man does what is right in their own eyes, some leader, doctrine, God and so on. Where the rubber hits the road is when controlling authorities clash!
I don't want to bake that cake, why do I have to wear clothes, there was no traffic 90 mph should be okay, they wanted to have sex why should age matter, he did the crime kill him, and on and on!
So you follow the law of the land, the law that was created - in a healthy democracy that is - by the people, for the people. Yes, I can agree with that.
But of course that is not what poor Whodey meant when he uttered such phrases as
"Yes, people are sheep as the Bible says.
Lemmings is a less flattering term.
Choose your shepherd wisely."
And
"You have to worship something or someone.
It's just human nature.
We are all sheep in desperate search for a good shepherd."
